Entering a new era of clean technologies 🌍💡 We welcome the news today that the government has confirmed funding to launch the UK’s first industrial clusters to deploy carbon capture, at sites in Merseyside and Teesside. This investment is set to create new skilled jobs, unlock billions of pounds of investment and speed up the UK's journey to net zero. At Innovate UK, we’re already at the heart of this transition, through our £210m UKRI - Industrial Decarbonisation Challenge (IDC), which has supported the development of low-carbon technologies and infrastructure, including carbon capture, utilisation and storage technologies (CCUS). HyNet Onshore, HyNet Offshore, Northern Endurance Partnership (part of East Coast Cluster) and Net Zero Teesside are four key projects, funded through the IDC and delivered by Innovate UK, which have enabled this investment. This announcement presents a real opportunity to significantly reduce CO2 emissions, create and protect jobs in the industrial clusters, and boost economic growth for the whole of the UK.

Dr Karen Spink, Head of Medicines at Innovate UK, has written an article about the importance of putting the child first when creating future life-changing cancer therapies. She outlines some of the reasons why relatively little research and investment are focused on this field of medicine, as well as some of the reasons to be optimistic about the future. The article references the work carried out with venture creation specialists Deep Science Ventures to explore the landscape of therapeutic approaches in paediatric oncology. The resulting white paper Revolutionising Paediatric Cancer Treatment, launched in February 2024, highlights opportunities with significant potential to attract the investment needed to deliver transformative therapies for children with cancer.
